Helpful Tutor w/98% of 5*ratings! MA-Learning Styles;12+ pos. reviews!

Well, I have a master's degree in Spanish and Learning Styles, and a B.A. in Spanish, so I just love teaching! Last year I completed my BCLAD (language learning theories) certification from Stanford. After several years of tutoring Spanish, French, and English, I am very happy to have had 100% returning Spanish, French, and English writing students as well as positive feedback from each student. In the accompanying picture, I am translating for President Clinton for the Red Cross; it was an honor to translate for him as I love languages and helping people, especially for the Red Cross Disaster Relief services.

I tutor Spanish, French, English, SAT English, SAT Writing, and writing strategies as well as computer applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook, iPhoto, iMovie, keynote, Pages (for Mac) all in Spanish or English.

My style is RELAXED and very positive, as I teach a foreign language it's even FUN whether it be a computer application or a language lesson, including writing. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new language. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short culture videos, songs that the student likes, and texts from topics that the given student likes. I really customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to understand the given concepts, no matter if it is Spanish 1, Spanish 5, French 2 or Italian 1.

I lived in Spain in college and visited in high school. I've traveled to Mexico, Aruba, and El Caribe. I have been proud of my 100% retention of all students whom I have tutored because I am helpful, easy going, and effective. Currently I teach teachers at a high school. I have taught Spanish at the high school, college, and middle school levels (Spanish I, Spanish II, Spanish III, Spanish IV, and Spanish V). And I've also taught English and French 1 and visited a great French family in Lyon, outside Paris for a wonderful 2 months. Last summer, I went to Italy and loved that travel experience, too, because I was able to apply my Italian courses from way back in college each day. (I translated for friends for the last 4 weeks, which helped my overall comprehension, grammar rules, and fluency in Italian, my fourth language.)

I am looking forward to taking the fear out of learning a language for you one day soon, and I currently teach technology to teachers and Spanish at a high school. I've taught Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Inspiration, and Publisher with simple and easy-to-understand handouts for more than 6 years.

Please note my many and numerous 2013, recent, 5-star ratings and recommendations, and I look forward to working with you one day soon. If you may have any questions, just let me know.

At the present time, I prefer to tutor at the Campbell library if this may work for you.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have taught 4th, 5th and 6th learners full time as a teacher for 2 years. In addition, at Fairmont schools, as the Instructional Technology Coordinator, I weekly modeled for teachers in their classroom technology-infused lessons for students in grades K-6 for eight fun years. Therefore, I learned and created exciting lessons (and taught) to each grade level and content area, including for grade 4 - a gold rush inspiration, scavenger hunt, and power point presentation for history classes, grade...

General Computer

I have been teaching adults software for more than 10 years. I currently teach teachers at a 1:1 laptop school so I have to be aware and able to answer any question on a number of different applications, websites, etc. I feel that my MA in Learning styles is crucial in my ability to teach sometimes the many steps in learning a new computer program or system. I have also trained telecommunications and financial software so I have real world experience.

Back in 1999, when the state of... Read More

Study Skills

I have taught various grade levels for many years. I have taught high school full time for 3 years, college for 2 years, 4th, 5th and 6th learners full time as a teacher for 2 years.
Currently, I teach teachers and students at a Technology Magnet high school and love what I do.

I have a Masters Degree in Spanish and Learning Styles, which is how people learn. I have taken courses in grad and undergrad school that explained the different types of study skills for various... Read More

ESL/ESOL

I went to graduate school in which I studied Foreign Language Learning (Pedagogy), also known as second language acquisition and Spanish. Our University had a unique program with Universidad de Granada Spain, so I have helped ESL students at both the college and high school levels in both the U.S. and in Spain when I lived there.

After grad school, I taught ESL for two summers at Cushing Academy in Boston where they have over 40 levels of English as a second language. I then taught... Read More

CBEST

As a teacher, I had to pass the CBEST test to apply for and teach in California. My BA, MA, years of teaching experience, and taking the test myself have all helped me to become an effective CBEST coach and tutor.

Macintosh

I currently work at a Macintosh 1:1 laptop school. I am in charge of teaching the teachers all the technology. We only have Macs on our campus, no PCs. Therefore, I have to know any and all questions about Macs, these can include the ilife suite, which includes iphoto, idvd, imovie, as well as other useful software like Numbers, Keynote, Pages, Garage Band, Podcast maker, etc. Teaching these topics for more than a few years have really helped me learn all I can about Macintosh computers...

Microsoft Outlook

I have taught Microsoft Outlook more than seven years to over 300 adult learners, from a school teacher, to a CEO of a company to a principal of very busy schools. I know how to communicate and teach any adult (or at any age since I have taught students in grades 2 up to high school and college) the best way to navigate throughout Outlook and use it in the most efficient ways possible for them. I've also read through over 16 manuals and have hand picked specific chapters for the exact learner... Read More

Microsoft Windows

I have taught Microsoft Windows since 1999, so for more than eight years to over 340 adult earners, from a school teacher, to a CEO of a company to a principal of very busy schools. I know how to communicate and teach any adult (or at any age since I have taught students in grades 2 up to high school and college) the best way to navigate throughout Windows and use it in the most beneficial ways possible for them.

I've also read through over ten manuals and have hand picked specific... Read More

Praxis

I have a MA in Spanish and had to pass the Praxis CSET test a few years ago. I also have a BA in Spanish, and I lived and studied in Spain for a year in college, so I feel quite confident in my Spanish abilities. I also translate for the Red Cross and have been deployed nationally to translate English to Spanish for Disaster Relief Services.
